The recent portrait Of Mr.. Ii, prime min
lister of China, painted by Vim. II. Bell, jr.
OF this city, deserves more than a passing
uoticc, not only because Mr.. Ii is one of
the most sagacious statesmen Of the east,
hut because the painting is faithful and
rare. Then, too, the artist is our fellow
townsman. The subject of the picture has
gained worldwide celebrity for progressive
and far seeing statesmanship, displaying
great appreciation OF the worth Of western
ways and wisdom. He has avoided expert.
ments, and has only accepted our ideas
and ways after they have passed the ex-
perimeDtal stage, thus saving vast sums of
money TO the empire, while at the same
time securing the best achievements of the
west, Mr.. Ii Is the same who received
Gen, Grant when he made his tour arouni
the world, and our readers will remember
that on that occasion China gave our hero
the grandest ovation that was ever accorded
by that nation to any foreigner. she has
recently, under the guidance of this same
statesman, thrown her territory open to the
Christian religion, aud her people are be-
ing educated up to broad and cosnopoli-
tan citizenship. 1t is this great man that
Mr.. Bell has successfully painted, his
achievement being all the more notable
from the fact that he has had great diff
culties to surmount.

Secretary Endicott Revokes Some of
His Appointments.
The changes necessitated by the order of
the Secretary of War limiting the term OF
duty Of regimental adjutants and lieuten-
ants to four years has led TO some CORE
spondence between Secretary Endicott and
Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan that will rival In
piquancy the letters between them earlier
in the administration. Gen. Sheridan has
always held that assignment Of the per-
sonnel of the army should be entirely In
the hands of the commanding general of
the army. Several colonies wrote to Gen.
Sheridan, when 1t became necessary to
change their adiutants and quartermasters,
to obtain his authority to assign lieutenants
doing tour of light battery duty to the
regimental staff positions. Gen. Sheri.
dan reserved his decision, but advised
the colonies to send I'm any recon-
mendations that they might think
best. Tne colonies recommended
that certain lieutenants on light battery
duty be made adjutants and quartermasters
of their regiments. Gen. Sheridan made the
appointments as recommended while Secre-
tarY Endicott was absent from the city.
When the secretary returned he promptly
revoked the appointments of the light
battery lieutenants. Gen. Sheridan was not
consulted about the annument OF his
action, being in the west He Is expected
here this week. 1t is the general impres.
sion that he will not let the action OF the
secretary pass unnotlced, aud in fact 1t
would be considered as lacking due respect
for bis own dignity were he TO do so. The
officers look for some bitter letters In this
connection, but it is doubtful II they will
get into print, as those censuring Sheridan
did over year ago. Greaterprecaution will
be taken, as both officials feel that some
designing subordinate made public the
former letters for the purpose of provoking
public lidicule.

TIE SUNDAY SELLING.
Proposition to Form a Protective So
oIety by Saloon Keepers.

IIcpOsIbOn TO fOrin IrOteCtiFe So
oIety by Saloon Keepers.
Commissioner Webb stated yesterday
that as soon as certified copies of the second
conviction of saloon keepers for selling
liquor on Sunday was received from the
police court the commissioners would un-
doubtedly revoke such licenses.
A suggestion has been made to theliquor
men that they form society similar to that
Of the BARRIERS and adopt a rule that any
saloon keeper found keeping his bar open
on Sunday shall be pros cuted IN the courts.
The proposition meets with favor among
the saloon men, but 1t is doubtful II such a
society can be formed.
Tie poorer element among them object
to such an alliance on the grounds that the
richer ones would in time control the So
ciety and run the same to suit themselves.
Another objection is that the compact
would not be kept long, and 1t would be
only q matter of short duration when men,
bers would be found violating the rules.
Some say that the society will be formed,
others say not, and until the doubt is done
away with nothing will be accomplished.

The Ferguson building, Twenty-fourth

Mr.. Ferguson, however, has not been heard

not likely rent his $4,000 building for
5000 year. There have been few offers
made the commissioners of small buildings,
but none could be accepted. The latest
proposition was to use the Franklin school
building, but little confidence is placed In
such an idea, as the commissioners are
